Deleterious

It's about to get interesting. FWIW, it looks like the Lakers first pick is #55.

Yeah. Game Stop up 68% 15 minutes after the opening bell. Bend over, shorts.

Right on cue. After hours volume of 11 million shares is insane. All based on a single image posted on Twitter. Tell me again Wall Street isn't a casino.

He's back.

Speaking as someone who is getting back into golf this year, I feel your pain. Trying to get 4 people to agree on a day, time, and course is almost impossible. Even when you do there is a good chance someone is going to cancel last minute or try to change the plans that work for the other 3 people.

Anthony Edwards is why I don't draft based on shooting. Me and Betrayer had multiple disagreements on Anthony Edwards when he entered the draft. Betrayer loved him and said he should be the #1 pick. I thought he would be a decent player but would not take him #1 based on him shooting 29% from three. With the short line and bad competition in college, 29% is awful. Now Edwards is 22 years old and already a top 10 player. He is crushing it in the playoffs and shoots 35% from three, which is respectable. Shooting should be in the mix when evaluating a player. But I don't like when people say you absolutely have to draft a shooter.

I just found out this was possible.

Denver goes down 0-2 then goes on the road against the #1 defense in the league and they score 117 and 115 while shooting 53% and 57% from the floor.

Odd series. Home team is 0-4.

Stupid gamble by Edwards on the inbounds play.

Jokic is so good. Posts up back to basket on the block. Double comes from the elbow, he spins baseline away from the double and lays it up.

People put a little too much stock in the draft. Look at the Timberwolves rotation tonight. 8 deep and they drafted exactly two of those players. Everyone else was acquired via trade or free agency.

Stop. Gobert isn't half the defender that Ben was.

No clue, not watching any draft stuff this year. But feel free to draft Jimmer Fredette if you want.

See. He is already a Piston.

Damn it.

I assume this is the max each team can achieve.

OK. Sam Vecenie just updated his mock and he now has Detroit taking Matas Buzelis as well. What he says about him:

That wouldn't be the worst thing. I think I'm all in on KAT assuming Minnesota is looking to dump salary. They have to start winning.

Also, we might never have to send the Knicks a first rounder to complete the Stewart trade.

Sam Vecenie has Clingan #5 on his big board. Givony has Matas Buzelis going to the Pistons in his post lottery mock. Sam has him #6. Before you rush to look up Matas Buzelis stats. He shot 27% from three last year.

lol

That also takes a little of the shine off the pick if they plan to trade it.
